C++ :: Input Validation For Date?
Jul 19, 2013How do you do the input validation for date? I used:
char rec.date[SIZE];
cout<<"date"<<endl;
cin.getline(date,SIZE);
I want the user to write in this format (mm/dd/yy)

C++ :: Bool Logic For Date Validation
Sep 17, 2013My issue is regardless of which date I input its always defaulting to the values I have set in my constructor in my implementation file in the else statement. So the values always default to 3/15/2006 I think its something to do with the logic in my bool function but I may be incorrect.
header
//date.h header

C/C++ :: Input Validation With Strings And Int

C++ :: Cin Input Validation Returns Wrong
Jul 11, 2014I have this function that is supposed to take a float as a parameter and then call the getLine() method to accept the users input. The function basically just checks to see if what the user input was of the same data type, if it is it returns the input value, if not then it keeps looping through taking new input until its correct. The problem is no matter what number you put in the output always returns as 140734799803512.
float InputValidation(){
float num;
string strInput;
while (true){
getline(cin, strInput);

You also need to include <string> and <sstream>.
C/C++ :: Float User Input Validation
Feb 4, 2014How I could correctly validate user input when the user inputs a numeric value that will be float pay1, pay2, pay3, pay4.

C :: Input Validation - User To Enter Six Doubles
Dec 20, 2014I'm trying to validate my input. I require for the user to enter six doubles and if they don't then I want them to re-enter the information. Here is my code:
Code:
while (1>0) {
printf("Please enter arguments in the order: negative mass, positive mass, initial x-position, initial y-position, initial x-velocity, initial y-velocity:
");
if ( scanf("%lf %lf %lf %lf %lf %lf",&MassMinus,&MassPlus,&Pos[0][0],&Pos[0][1],&Vel[0][0],&Vel[0][1]) != 6) {
printf("Not all numbers were assigned!
[Code] .....
At the moment it just waits if you enter less than six numbers and if you enter any more than 6 it just ignores anything after the sixth number (so pretty much does nothing). Also if I entered 1 2 a b 3 4 instead of entering six numbers it would register that as 1 2 0 0 3 4 but I want it to make the user input the numbers again. I'm also aware that "while (1>0)" isn't good programming form but I'm not really sure what to use instead?
Visual C++ :: Input Validation Error Using Arrays
Jul 18, 2013I have not completed this program yet, but I have already run into a snag. For the Input Validation part, every time you enter a number regardless if it is positive it will still display the cout statement: "Please enter positive values". The program runs correctly where I currently am at, but it just keeps reading that statement even if a user enters a positive value. I have run the debugger, but it really is not showing me anything other than I notice it jumping to that statement after every value that is entered.
Here is my code, once again I have not finished this yet, but I would really like to get this fixed first before I continue. I will keep debugging in the meantime...

// A local zoo wants to keep track of how many pounds of food each of its three monkeys eats each day during a typical week. Write a program that stores this information in a two-dimensional 3 X 7 array, where each row represents a different monkey and each column represents a different day of the week. The program should first have the user input the data for each monkey. Then it should create a report that includes the following information:
// Average amount of food eaten per day by the whole family of monkeys.
// The least amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey.
// The greatest amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey.
// Input validation: Do not accept negative numbers for pounds of food eaten.

C++ :: Input Validation For 5-digit PIN Number Read From Integer
Oct 22, 2014The problem states that i need to accept any pin number between "00000" and "99999". I need to read the PIN the user enters as an integer. The problem is that if the PIN is read as an integer, the PIN "01111" will be "1111" which is invalid and the pin "00001" would be read as "1" which is also invalid. How would I go about fixing this problem for PIN numbers that start with a "0"? Again I cannot read the PIN as a char array or string.

This program was made to allow students to enter as many test scores as they want and the program will show them in ascending order and then will calculate the average of all test scores. It works wonderful until you enter a negative test score and then it throws the averaging process off. I can't seem to be able to make the program not accept the negative numbers.

C++ :: Display Triangular Pattern - infinite Loops From Input Validation
Mar 1, 2014I am writing a program to display a triangular pattern using nested loops and user input for the size of the base and character used to generate the image. 99% of the program runs fine. However I am having trouble with some of my input validation.
When given an integer value for the base I can verify if it is within a certain range (0-80). However, when the user inters a "char" instead of an "int" the program enters an infinite loop.
Here is the piece of code giving me trouble. (I wont bother you with the entire chunk of code, I have commented out everything else to narrow down the problem bit)
// Pattern Displays

C++ :: Getting User Input In Date Format
Oct 26, 2014So I have a programming assignment which is for getting a user input in the format of m/d/yyyy. This is stored as d/m/yyyy. I have been able to code all the rest of the requirements of the program but the thing that is giving me trouble is this. The year is allowed to go from 1-3000. The format of the displayed date is:
a zero-filled, two-digit day number, a dash, full name of month, a dash, zero-filled, four-digit year.
I am able to use a switch statement in order to get my name of the month. What I am struggling to figure out is the whole zero filled two digit day and zero filled four digit year. From the way the input is store it appears to me that it will be stored as yyyy which means if you were to enter 0001 for year 1 then it should output it as that (this is an assumption based on format). What I don't get is that the day is entered and stored as d which means if you put in 12 how would it be stored. However if you put in 6 to print the output I would need to add a zero and I dont know how to do that either.
Here is the code for getting the input. The function must stay formated this way as per the instructor. The / is stored but ignored hence the char for second and fourth since / is a char
Code:
void getDate (int& day, int& month, int& year){
char second;
char fourth;
cout << "Please enter a date in the format of m/d/yyyy" << endl;
cin >> month >> second >> day >>fourth >> year;
}

C# :: Check Input Date Between 2 Dates (not SQL)
Oct 8, 2014In my WinForm, Our client insists to use Textbox instead of DateTimePicker field, and they want to input in ddmmyy format.
Using Visual Studio 2010 C# 4.0.
PC date time setting: GMT +08:00 dd-MMM-yy.
Assumed today date is 291014 (29-Oct-14).
CodeBehind:
DateTime inputDate;
// the WinForm allows user to input date not earlier than 2 years before today date and not more than 1 months from today date too.
//Assumed I input date as 261014 (26-Oct-14)
if(DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "ddMMyy", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"), System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out inputDate)) {
DateTime minDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-24);//Assumed it is 29-Nov-14
DateTime maxDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);//Assumed it is 29-Oct-12
I tried many methods but none works (I have checked many threads/forums also).
//Method 1
if(inputDate >= minDate && inputDate <= maxDate)
return true
//Method 2: B return true but A ***always*** return false, Why??
if (inputDate >= minDate)

C/C++ :: Making A Date Format Input?
Dec 16, 2014how my code should work is a console screen in which the user enters a date using format dd/mm/yyyy
Regardless of logical errors (checking days if bigger than 31 or negative values or.. etc) My code should be able to validate the following:
- if the user enters a letter, the program should output an error message
- if the user typed the date as 8/2/2014 the program should convert it to 08/02/2014 without returning an error message
Here's my code so far, I really can't find the bugs in it
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
main(){
char d[2], m[2], y[4], br1, br2, dx, mx;
bool end, nobr1, nobr2;

as you notice, I tried two different validating formats in the days and months, unfortunately they both failed..
Here's how my program is outputting so far:

C++ :: Program Which Takes Date And Time Input From The User
Jan 20, 2013I am writing a C++ program which takes date & time input from the user. This is then parsed into a struct such as:
struct time
{
short year;
short month;
short day;
short hour;
short min;
};
My question is: how can I convert such a struct into a time_t object, which is an unsigned long giving the time as the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch Jan 1st 1970, 00:00, as set out in time.h.
I am wondering if this can be achieved using the standard library, or whether I just need to write a function to perform the appropriate arithmetic.
